Good morning all from a sunny but still very windy Glasgow.

Both DDs arranged for the three of us to have a catch up on FaceTime at a time which suited DD2 in Australia. Such a lovely feeling we were all in the same room blethering about this and that.

I’m sorry to hear of your DH’s troubles Baubles. Feeling so unwell, won’t have made him feel like eating and could explain the weight loss. A worrying time for you and you will be in my thoughts.
Enjoy your lunchtime get together Stilllearning
Happy birthday Alygran. 🎂🥂

Best wishes to all for the best day possible.

A very late good morning from a sunny NE.
I slept badly and fell asleep when I should have been getting up.
Busy day yesterday, grocery shopping in the morning and gift shopping in the afternoon. Managed to get birthday gifts for both my sisters and my friend, also bought myself two pairs of trousers.
GP told me to book covid and flu vaccination but the soonest they could offer was 12th October so I have arranged a covid one for this Sunday at a pharmacy, will get flu one separately.
Happy Birthday Alygran flowers

Blustery but dry at the moment here in Central Scotland. Having a housework kind of day today. Dgd2 comes in after school for a couple of hours before being picked up by her mum so that always adds a sparkle to the day. Tomorrow going for an afternoon tea and wander round the Japanese garden near Dollar so looking forward to that. It was a birthday gift for DH. Undecided on what to have for meals today will have a rake in the freezer. Have the best day you can.

Good morning from a sunny , chilly Co Armagh
The wind has died down , but I did get a wash dry yesterday on the line , I used extra pegs
Baubles thanks for asking , the little boy with the brain tumour came through his operation successfully, thank God , but there is no more information, they expect a long haul

Good morning Mick and all from cool cloudy Lancashire where it is currently 12°C.

I hope you get some help with the ongoing bowel problems Mick, I needed a probiotic for a few weeks to settle mine after terrible bouts of diarrhoea. I’m not suggesting you do the same but it may be worth mentioning to your nurses.

Yesterday I had a manic burst of energy and vacuumed everywhere. My back has not forgiven me for the unexpected exercise yet …

The plumber is due late afternoon, fingers crossed he turns up this time.

Thinking of all our ‘poorlies’ and those looking after loved ones.

Have a good day all whatever you’re doing 🌹

The sun has got it's hat on in Eden, DH is heading to the hills.

Had a lovely unexpected afternoon yesterday,Facetime with DD and GD who was off school and ill but well enough to chatter,then a visit from my lovely neighbour from across the road. DH must have told her I was incapacitated and she arrived with sunflowers which I always try to have in one of the windows.
Housework in the sunshine today , it has all been so neglected you can write your name in the dust.
I hope all who are ill feel better soon and happy birthday to all those who are just really a day older.

Evening from Sydney. Much cooler 24 degrees today after 34 yesterday - thank goodness for ceiling fans, worked a treat.

Good morning from a fairly bright Essex coast.
Late to the party this morning so I haven't read all the previous posts yet.
Bits and bobs to do this morning, then hair cut late this afternoon.
Have a lovely day everyone xxx

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Home after another problem journey with Lufthansa. Delays meant we missed our connection in Frankfurt from Salzburg and no flight could be found that night so we stayed an extra night there and handed a toothbrush 😁 Taxi vouchers, meal laid on. Flight home in the morning ok, but all tiring.

Faulty ground floor window blown wide open when I returned home so anyone could have climbed in, although DD says “What would they take Mum?” incredulously, the cheek!
Hospital appointment this morning, dermatologist and nice to be home.

So sorry you are having problems Mick and birthday greetings Alygran

ginny Thu 21-Sept-23 09:11:30

Just came back to say Happy Birthday Alygran. You share the day with my eldest DGS who is 21 today.

Good morning from a bright W Kent Off to art group this morning and a catch up with everyone. Should have a call from the Clinical Pharmacist! but haven't received usual reminder from the surgery so I wonder if it will happen.
How lovely a new grandson fancythat
Beautiful quilt gM
All the best

Gwenisgreat Thu 21-Sept-23 08:41:17

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate.
Lovely quilt GrandMattie. Clever lady! I’m glad you are seeing the team about your present problem Mick.
Yes, get your DH checked out ASAP Baubles. I had TB 7 years ago and the surgery would not send me to the respiratory clinic at the hospital for 5years. As a result I have Bronchiectasis.
Today it’s Sainsburies delivery then have to find out if my Hospital appointment is still on before getting the train 🚂 to York.
My DH finally got his email address back 30 hours after asking for help. It couldn’t be that difficult surely?
Have the best day possible folks

Grammaretto Thu 21-Sept-23 08:39:51

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Bright and Breezy today. All the classes begin this week starting with yoga this morning. I am very stiff and creaky.
Lovely quilt gMattie
Small world indeed Foxy
The doorbell has just rung so I'll have to go down.
No servants these days grin

Another good morning from South Lanarkshire, so different from yesterday which was typhoonlike. May it last.

baubles, sorry to see your DH isn’t feeling any better yet, I hope the X-rays are reassuring, his constant coughing is bound to be affecting his appetite.

I so wish had the creative gift several of you possess, Mizuna, you describe such a fulfilling life. And yet another lovely quilt grandMattie.

I’ve been wondering about the little boy in your village Aggie,
Is there any word on how he is?

Lunch with three friends today, they’re a nice bunch and I’m looking forward to seeing them.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Alygran Thu 21-Sept-23 08:34:39

Good morning from North Yorkshire. The sun is shining.
It’s my birthday today. DD2 is coming later to stay over. We are off to an Indian restaurant for dinner. Coffee this morning with a friend. It’s very weird still to wake up on a birthday alone. I have a small pile of cards to open. Good to have friends.
Waited in all day yesterday for the alarm engineer. The company rang at 5 to rearrange. As he wasn’t going to make it to me. GRRR! It’s only a 10 minute job!
Wishing you all a good day.
